Sankalp
Team Design Project, 2018
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done extensive research, we understood that our peer and many other students are
struggling with getting their idea and projects through to government bodies and accepted
as a smart city project. So we wanted to ease the process of presenting ideas using smart
technologies and build a system that can facilitate the same. The tools we used: Design
Thinking, user research including task flow, interview template questionnaire, persona,
journey emotional mapping, and statistical review, for data interpretation, mind mapping,
empathy mapping, and general task flow, complex system simplification using info
graphs. Final Design Direction: How might we create a platform for communicating ideas
and projects for students, as part of the smart city system?

1983 (still in production)

Stills:

Junior Sound Editor, Runner & Actor, 2017
1983 is a project involving a process we adapted from â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverse engineeringâ&#x20AC;?. We adapted
period styles of filmmaking and applied it to modern technology. The task we assigned
to ourselves was to study various forms of screenwriting, cinematography and editing
techniques of the 80s and to try and replicate that style using digital technology. By doing
this, we could achieve knowledge of films in the 80s and the challenges then as opposed
to recent times. Currently, we are digitally correcting the scenes using VFX and also
adding music and sound effects. It is expected to be available by mid-2019 for pitching
for screen spaces.

Darkside is a 30-minute short film exploring the experience of a couple facing an
unimaginable incident on their jovial road trip. Auditions were carried out for this short
along with 1983 and 1001 Farebi sights to minimize administrative costs. The short is
now undergoing color correction and sound edit. Strategies to sell this in the festival
market is also being laid out along with approaching online streaming channels for
outright purchase

1001 Farebi Sights (still in production)

Stills:

Sound Team & Art Direction Team, 2017
1001 Farebi Sights gives a sneak peek into native advertising and paid media news
which is a big political scam happening in India at present times. The story is roughly
based on an incident which took place in Mumbai, Maharashtra so there was quite a lot
of research on this subject before the script was written. The scenes involved a lot of
office spaces which were challenging for us to acquire on the campus. The direction and
art team then took up staff offices in the University and rearranged things flawlessly.
Most of the scenes were shot under strict deadlines successfully. The director for this
short was very clear in imagining the scenes and he played a key role in preparing his
actors. Currently, we are carrying out dubbing for this short and also strategic ways to
sell it to Online streaming channels as it has commendable potential content-wise.

successfully completed the pre-production and production phase.
